Mariners, with Felix starting, were just down 0-2 in the 5th. I had pretty much given up hope for a variety of historically supported reasons. Then: Two outs, so go fuck yourself.
Shannon Drayer @shannondrayer 40s40 seconds ago Statcast confirms, Cruz ball crushed. 112 mph off the bat, 435 ft.
Guys, it might be time to start having actual expectations with this team. Like, the high ones, where baseball in October is possible.
Its fun seeing a game where we can go down by 4 later in the game or blow a save in the 9th and still feel like we can and should win. Been a while since I've had that optimism.
True Mariner Robinson Cano has 12 dingers. He hit his 12th dinger last year on August 7. I like Robinson Cano.
Dae-Ho Lee is quickly becoming one of my favorite players. He is filling the hole in my heart that Bucky Jacobsen left.
Spent years watching their shitty asses get destroyed via MLB as my go to Pacific game. Got a new job this year and I cannot make it to game time at all. Of all the years I miss......
We converted Edwin Diaz (top prospect) to a relief pitcher. Here are DiPoto's thoughts and LL thoughts If he can be the high-velocity RHP we'd need down the stretch this year then I think it's a great move. The idea of him being a two-pitch starter really do limit his ceiling so this is probs the right call.
It's all related to work ethic and mental makeup from what I've read. Bust city until proven otherwise.
I hate Cishek so much. I hated the signing at the time, was about to come around and then he started to reveal himself. This game was about to be so cool.
I prefer to overreact to small sample sizes that I know are statistically irrelevant thank you very much.
That was a tough pill to swallow. The Felix loss was really a gut punch. Hopefully they can shake this off because this is going to be a good test.
And with that win we take the series 2-1 against the AL East leading Baltimor Orioles. Helluva rebound after that LAA debacle. Gary Hill @GaryHillJr 3m3 minutes ago Outstanding pitching by @Mariners this series. Machado, Jones and Davis combined to go 2-30 with 0 HR 1 RBI. Wow
A wild Alex Jackson update appears! Bob Dutton @TNT_Mariners 37s38 seconds ago #Mariners move OF Alex Jackson, their top prospect, from extended spring training to Lo-A Clinton. Release OF Austin Cousino Sucks about Cousino but I guess Boog is just a better, more polished version of him.
Not as long as Franklin Gutierrez is hitting 473 foot dingers. http://m.mlb.com/news/article/179442734/mariners-franklin-gutierrez-launches-homer
